Decentralisation has been put forward as a powerful tool to reduce poverty and improve governance. PROMAN’s expertise covers the spectrum of policy development, legislation, accountability, support to local authorities, community based development and the development and implementation of local multi-sector development strategies.
Over the last two decades, many central governments in developing countries have entrusted responsibilities to Local Authorities in country development processes, with a view to allowing the definition of public policies and service delivery on local realities. Decentralisation involves the transfer of a range of political authority and powers including revenue-raising, responsibilities in service delivery and financial, human and administrative resources from higher levels in the political system to public authorities at lower levels.
